I don't have much sun in my yard. Will it work in a spot that only gets a couple of hours a day?

Yes, it will probably be fine. It may take a bit longer for things to decompose. Mine gets barely any sun at all.

I have it under a couple of bushes at the side of the yard, in the shade, and I think it working fine. Granted, I'm not a great, scientific, technical composter, but I am getting compost out of it this spring and am happy with the product.

The main thing about compost is that the contents are moist and warm. Shade isn't a problem as long as it composter stays warm.

I would recommend a standard black composter if you don't have much sun, or if you live in a cool climate. I love the appearance of this composter in my back yard, but it takes longer to make compost than my previous black, standard ones, and this units collects alot of moisture, and the compost is often too wet.

I have not had good luck with that. It needs to be in full-sun all day. I have also experienced issues with the fact that I have a lot of animals that come through the area and it doesn't seem to hold the charge well if it get's set off often.

As long as there is daylight it will charge but not well as in sunlight. Performamce is greatly improved when angled for direct sun. Hope this helps... carolinaphil

I was making an outdoor backdrop. When it was early morning and in the shade with no back lighting it worked fine. But assoon as the sun would hit something bright in the background or the sun came out and hit the back it showed real bad. I did not test to see how it work if the sun was hitting the front.

it depends on where you live and amount of sunlight. Also whether or not you use a solar cover.

It needs at least 6 hours of full sun a day it is not an indoor tree unless it's a hot house mine is outside unless the temperature drops below 30 degrees.

It should do fine. However, as you'll only get a little sun during the summer months, it would be a good idea to get some augment light, such as a small LED grow light. I keep mine indoors all the time -- it's not going to get too big -- and I have augmented light. Just don't let the temperatures get below 60 degrees as it is tropical.

It depends. In bright sunlight, not to well, especially if the light is shining on it

Not sure. I know that at twilight it wasn't turning on so I turned up the sensitivity and it turned on. I think if maid it more sensitive to light but I doubt it would work midday.

It will work if you put it on the daylight setting, but you will probably have to wave your hand in front of it to activate it.

if you have a lot of direct sun for a small pool or multiple units i think it would work well.

As long as you follow the directions on the package and you have adequate amount of sunshine, it should work for you.

I can't tell you for sure since it depends on whether you have a light-reducing coating on your windows... but... that being said... if you have a "normal, clear window" it should heat up about as well as it would if it was setting outside... another couple of things to consider are whether the window has any framing that might also reduce the amount of pure sunshine hitting it, or... if the window direction may limit the amount of time that it gets direct sun each day... my guess is... you're probably ok as long as you give it direct sun for several hours, without anything to shade it... Hope that helps!

I have these lights and I have them on my back porch which faces west. There are lots of trees and obstructed sun. My lights seem to work into the wee hours of the morning. My suggestion is to place the solar panel in a southerly direction to maximize its ability to collect light.

Sunlight is very bright, so I think it will not work outdoors unless you use it at dusk.

Not always. Good thing to do IF you have sunshine is to lay it down on the grass. It will flatten out in a few hours.

I live in a townhome complex and there is a area to put plants. Due to the rotation of the sun, during the day, each plant receive sun light for two to three hours a day. I would not plant in a complete shaded area, but one that will allow some sun, off and on, during the day. I hope this helps.
